Description

This dataset includes raw data from tracer and microplastic transport experiments, focusing on the impact of grain size, particle size, and plastic density on the transport of microplastics in natural sediments and soil systems.

Table of contents (English)

The data is split into 2 parts:

Part 1 –   Impact of grain size and particle size: This data file provides raw data from both tracer and microplastic transport experiments. The data is stored in file ESR12_11.csv and metadata is given in file ESR12_11.pdf. Explanations of Headers in the Excel sheets were included within the same sheet for better understanding the data. The experiment and simulation details can be found in the publication Li, W., Brunetti, G., Zafiu, C., Kunaschk, M., Debreczeby, M., & Stumpp, C. (2024).

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 133772. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133772.

Part 2 –   Impact of plastic density: This data file provides raw data from both tracer and microplastic transport experiments. The data is stored in file ESR12_12.csv and metadata is given in file ESR12_12.pdf. The experiment and simulation details can be found in the publication Li, W., Brunetti, G., Bolshakova, A., & Stumpp, C. (2024).
